Count all individuals served by your organization with the use of VOCA plus match funds during the reporting period in the VSDCS. This number should be an unduplicated count of people served during a single reporting period, regardless of the number of services they received or victimization types with which they presented.
In this section, new direct service victims are counted only once each fiscal year. The tracking of individuals served each fiscal year and each reporting period is automated by the VSDCS. VSDCS counts the number of individuals who received services based on each presenting victimization type during the reporting period. An individual MAY be counted in more than one victimization type.
Crime categories are based on federal program requirements.
The OVC (Office of Victims of Crime) lists victimization experiences in the Office for Victims of Crime Performance Measure Dictionary and Terminology Resource. See Page 7 of Section IV. Victimization Experienced.
